a look at other national polls confirm it's razor tight, maybe even a mirror image of the 2004 showdown between president bush and senator john kerry. we see some movement towards the president. obama leads by seven points, almost four in ten. and he leads by four points in the battleground states, again, though, within the margin of error. the president is holding on to an eight-point advantage among women and that's slightly higher than romney's edge among men. the president's job rating sits at 49%. take a look at these numbers. 67% of likely voters approve of his handling of hurricane sandy. haven't seen numbers like that for this president on a single event, of course, going back to bin laden. and we may be seeing a sandy effect in other numbers. when voters are asked which candidate has better leadership qualities, the president -- more now pick the president. two weeks ago mitt romney led in that question, 44% to 40%. this doesn't mean romney doesn't have some things going for him. he's winning independents, the group the president won in 2008. romney leads them now by seven poin

first of all, this is a razor tight race, so they would argue that every single vote matters, but i will hold special significance to president obama. in large part thanks to white working class voters who voted for him. now, we interviewed really the sort of political queen here in iowa. who was with the des moines register. here's how she put it. she say quote, iowa is important symbolically. if other states see they are turning away from barack obama, that is a harbinger for the rest of the country, so that really sums up in large part, why is state is so important to president obama. he has put a lot of money into this state. this obama campaign has more than 60 campaign offices here. as far as we can tell, the romney campaign has about six. they are working more on their ground game with the internet, martin. but this is certainly a state that both candidates are hoping to hold on to, but it holds special significance for the president. >> indeed, mr. romney is now off to new hampshire, where there are also four electoral available, so this is a real battle for every single one, sin
